Walking Trails

An up-graded walking trail system was put in place in 2014 and includes both new build and upgraded trails and includes a mixture of off-road trail and forest road totalling 12.5km.

There is no charge for individuals to use the trails. Groups wishing to organise events or coaching and guiding on the designated trails will have to apply for approval to do so, for which a fee will apply (see section to the left below on ‘How to apply to hold an event in Castlewellan Forest Park’). Usual vehicle access charges will apply for the Forest Park.
